Writers should understand this first before finding a niche.

Life is easy when writers know their audience. It creates a feeling of direction but not arrival

it can be easier if they combine a certain type of knowledge with the knowledge of their audience

As writers, we spend majority of our time trying to know where we belong and who we belong to.

Some writers are told they have to niche down and talk to a particular type of people to get the recognition they deserve.

I know some writers who will never take the path of niching down because their curiosity is wide and their taste comes in different varieties.

But whether you choose to niche down or not, choose to be a path of a community, or allow your curiosity to run you wild there is only one simple thing that matters.

Writers fail to come to terms with this thing and instead chase vague things and tell themselves fake stories about why they should continue finding the right spot for themselves.

Because we have no idea of what truly matters when it comes to our writing career we tend to put our focus on finding the right audience.

But here’s the truth, it doesn’t matter if you niche down or not. What matters as a writer is being in alignment with the things you create.
